To determine the parent function from the given points and the transformed function \( y = (x + 2)^2 \), we need to analyze the transformation that has taken place.

Based on your description, it seems the transformation involves a shift and possibly other interpretations of the function. Here's how we break it down:

1. **Identifying the Parent Function**:
You suggested the parent function could be \( y = x^2 \) based on your options. In the context of the transformations:

- If we have the function \( y = (x + 2)^2 \), this means that the graph of \( y = x^2 \) is shifted to the left by 2 units.

2. **Examine the Points**:
- You provided points at (-3, 2), (-2, 0), and (-1, 2).
Let's see if these fit the transformation.

For the parent function \( y = x^2 \):
- The first point (-3, 2): When \( x = -3 \), \( y = (-3 + 2)^2 = (-1)^2 = 1 \). This does not match the point.
- The second point (-2, 0): When \( x = -2 \), \( y = (-2 + 2)^2 = (0)^2 = 0 \). This matches the point.
- The third point (-1, 2): When \( x = -1 \), \( y = (-1 + 2)^2 = (1)^2 = 1 \). This does not match the point.

It seems like there might be an error in either the points provided or in the interpretation.

3. **Choosing the Correct Parent Function**:
From your options:
- The parent function \( y = x^2 \) is a reasonable starting point.
- The function \( y = (x - 2)^2 \) indicates a rightward shift.
- The function \( y = (x + 2)^2 \) indicates a leftward shift.

Given that the original question states the form \( y = (x + c)^2 \) where it shifts left or right, and given the matching point at (-2, 0), the overall trend suggests the transformation might correspond to a left shift (if the algebra confirms other points).

### Conclusion:
The parent function is likely \( y = x^2 \) with the transformation represented as \( y = (x + 2)^2 \). The expression \( y = (x + 2)^2 \) indicates a leftward shift by 2 units, which matches the function's form with respect to the points discussed.

If any additional information or verification of points is available, it would help in refining this conclusion further.
